mencement Of new fiscal year is often
marked by the termination of various
official careers. On the first Of July,

awaited. Government employees have
rarely had less reason than now to
dread the official New Years day, The

Wonderful things coming to ght
That put our old ideas to fight
And give us some startling new ones;
We live to learn how little we know
And thousand things we thought were so,
Like poor John Chinanan, must CO.
To make place for the true ones
One OF the cherished notions we had
Was that butter when old, if it wasn't bad"
Was hardly the thing we wanted
To put on roll when smoking hot.
Or boiled potatoes just from the pot:
But it WASH as bad we were sure it was not
AS if by maggots twas haunted.
But swift witness" is found who swears
That all wrong, and he declares
That the solid facts are these:
THAT strong butter has worms at all
That margots that skip and worms that crawl
May be found in butter that he would CALL"
AS the boys say, Just the cheese"
That was Budd J. R.. Democrat.
Though 1 wouldn't pretend to hint by that
That Democratic butter
Il made from milk from the government toat,
Or that the cream that goes into it
Is churned in an ancient boot--not bit
scorn such SANDER to utter.
As the Yankees say, I have an idear
That Budd, j. r., had notion queer,
That as the strong one
Against the board twould be best to 60
His length an expert in ''greas>," and So
Finding he had to draw the bow.
He concluded to draw the long one.
